why are my love handles the last to go???

beutiful5678

my arms are slender. my boobs have deflated. my calves look like chicken legs. (they always have...) my thighs are getting there. my face is skinnier.

so WHY does it look like i have two potatoes strapped to my back? WHY do my love handles have to be the last thing to go?

sorry, just had to vent...

Wouldn't it be lovely if we could spot reduce?!?! Like...just pick where the next pound is gonna leave our body.

I hear ya girl. :sad: My thighs are crying with your love handles...(which I am sure aren't as bad as you think)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but some of it is genetic. My baby sister is 5'7" and weights around 115-118, she has an awesome figure (she's a PT & personal fitness trainer, pilates/abs instructor) but she has the muffin-tops that will not go away. I am 5'7" around 161-162 and while I'm working on my figure to get back to 150 (I have the bigger build, lol!), I have very little love handles, for me, those are the first to go (along with whatever boobs I had ). We figured out that she got our Dad's build & metabolism (super fast) & I got my Moms (more muscle, hips & super slow metab). That's how the cookie crumbles, so to speak
That being said, there are ab routines and some other forms of exercise that can help to minimize or build more muscle: try looking into Tai Chi or Yoga as they will stretch & reform your body in ways you couldn't imagine. Tammilee Webb has some great ab routines and I like Scott Cole for Tai Chi

Be glad you aren't a guy. All of my weight goes around the middle!
